I come from a large family and have two other siblings born on
Feb.29 (each of us
4 years apart). We are a total of nine bothers
and sisters. Everyone in the family
makes a big deal about us being
born on Leap Day. Our nieces and nephews get
a kick out of the fact
that some are older then we are, and I had one of my nephews
tell
me, "I know you are my favorite uncle, but remember, you have to
respect your
elders." He is now 12.

One
set of Leap Day Babies born in three
consecutive
Generations in one family
The only
verified example of a family producing three consecutive generations
born on
February 29 (Leap Day) is that
of the Keogh's.
1. Peter Anthony (Ireland, b.1940),
2. his son Peter Eric (UK, b. 1964)
3. and his grand-daughter Bethany Wealth (UK, b. 1996)
All celebrate
their birthdays infrequently (every four years). They were in the
Guiness Book
of World Records under

another girl born on Leap Year Day.
When I was 22 I met a guy who
was also a Leap Year Day baby born on the same day. In 2003 we
didn't have a "real" birthday but all three of us went out. It was
fun to see the look we got
as the doorman carded 3 Leap Year babies
in a row.

That's three of us in our family born

TWINS born on Leap year!! My due date was March 20th, but the twins
had another idea. They
decided their birthday should be the same as
grandmas'. . . Leap year day. needless to say,
she was pleased. So
now grandma was 14 last year and the twins had their first b-day.
Forever
young. Does that mean they stay at home longer. I hope so.

Fortunately we were born

the same birth day. (Maxine was born 20 minutes

there any other leap year twins out there? My son, who turns 16 this

it is really great that he is "older" than his mother.

in Petaluma California to our proud
parents Kevin and Ellen and our very proud older sister, Jeanine
and
Jeanette. We are hoping to find out if any other twins were born on
leap year 2000,
as my mom
and dad don't know anyone else born on
leap year day, let alone twins. We hope to make friends
with other
leap year babies in the
years to come.

Kern of Florida, USA born 1932 at 11:45 P.M.
Although I've met less than a handful of Leap Day babies, my
twin
brother, Joel Russell and I were
born in Birmingham, Alabama on Leap
Day. Another set of twins (girls) were born the same day --
Leap
Day, 1932. There were writeups in the Birmingham News on the birth
of two sets of twins, and
again on our first Leap Year birthday.
Although we exchanged cards with the other set of twins,
we never
met until we were freshmen
at Auburn. The twin girls and I were on
the same floor in the
same dormitory. Seacrest School, the
independent school I initiated and developed
in Naples, Florida,
proclaimed February 29 as Jane Kern day, with great celebrations
every Leap Year.

Hello! Pleased to meet all of you reading this. My
twin brother and
I (we're fraternal twins) have
never been fortunate to meet anyone
in Trinidad and Tobago who share our unique birthday. So
when a
friend in the U.S. told me about this site, I just had to check it
out! My story is more of
an anecdote. When folks find out my birth
date, they invariably ask, "So when do you celebrate
if it's not a leapyear?" And our answer? March 1!! :) We prefer that day since
technically, we
were born after Feb. 28. bye for now! AJ

I am a leap year twin and the youngest of twin girls. My twin sister
is 10 minutes older than
me and I love her to pieces. The day we
were born we made headlines in the Hawkes Bay
paper. In the year
2000 we made a comeback on the front of the Dominion newspaper.
(Wellington newspaper.) We are now 34 years of age and I'd like to
say one thing and that
is "You don't hear of many 8 year olds who
have been there and done that!" Ha!Ha! See you

I'm one of Leap Day twins... I have an identical twin called

usually early, my dad kept joking about us being
born on Leap Day!
Sure enough, my mother's labour started at 22:45 on Tuesday 28
February
1984... after a rather quick labour, Frankie was born at
03:30am and I followed 15 minutes later!!!!

I had never met another Leap Year Baby until I went to college.
There I not only met
my husband (who is a triplet), but one of his
roommates who was a twin -- and born
on Leap Day! What are the odds
of a Leap Year baby dating a triplet who's living with
a Leap Year
Baby twin!?!

At the grand old age of nearly 34/ 8.5 years! I never thought I
would ever have to acknowledge
twice as many people as any normal
person does! Ie. half of these I don't know - but am sure
my twin
sister does!!! But i do feel extra special and am sure identical twins can relate to this,
let alone Leap Twins!!

I was born on Feb. 29th along with my sweetheart
twin sister in
1980, Guyana. Years later we
found out that my twin sister's best friend who befriended her when we emigrated to the U.S.
and who
had found her way without knowing us to the same elementary school
and high school
in our home country, and also to the same high
school and college in the US that we attended,
was also born hours
apart from us and in the same place. However, her birthday fell the
day after,
March 1st, 1980 and also in the same hospital where we
were born. I mean, we were most likely
hanging out in the same baby
ward. Coincidentally, the name of the hospital and the high school
we attended in our home country were also the same. And our
assignment to that school was
also random. She basically wound up
running into us several times unwittingly until she became
my
sister's best friend in the US and we discovered she came into this
world with us. This kind
of intertwining of fates can make one
believe in destiny. Doesn't it? And the best part is that our
parents
did not know each other. Other than that, while it is sucky
listening to all the, "So how
old are you really?' jokes, at least
we leap babies can qualify for some good perks. ON our last
birthday, we got celebrity treatment on the David Letterman show
with other leap babies. And the
best part it only happened because a
previous boss remembered me and my sister's birthday.
There's some
Honor Roll!

My sister Debra Shriver Smith is also a leap day baby. She was born
in 1952. To our knowledge we
were the first such sibblings in the

maybe in Indiana. If anyone can help us we would really like to be
able to verify this.

My Dad used to say "I have a son born
on my daughter's first birthday and a daughter born in

There are no twins and all are full brother and sisters with no
premature births.
Unless it was close to Leap Year few people could
figure it out.

Last year (2000) I gave birth to a leap year baby and made all the
Oklahoma City papers.
The teaser was "one in two million" baby
because they calculated the odds of a leap year
mom giving birth
(naturally - not induced) to a leap year baby was over one in two
million.
They interviewed my Mom because when I was born in 1972 I
was the first leap year baby
in Boulder County, CO. and made the
papers.

On February 28th I celebrated my first unofficial birthday with my

made all the papers when I was born. It was great!

I was born on my mothers 6th Birthday! My mother, Ruth J. Griffn,
was born 2/29/1928 (d. 9/6/96).
When this happened it was picked up
by the Associated Press and the United Press. Their headlines
read
like the ones in a tabloid that you see in the check-out line in the
grocery stores;
"SOUTH CAROLINA WOMAN HAS SECOND CHILD ON HER SIXTH

I don't know if anyone has a brother/sister story but my younger
brother was born on leap year
one leap year after me. He has a story
about being pulled over by a cop and when the officer
punched his
drivers licence into the computer he was cited for having an invalid
drivers license.
The computer system did'nt recognize Leap Year!!!
No amount of explaining would get him out
of the ticket!! My other
brother and my sister were born on September 11th, exactly four
years
apart! My folks had a good sense of timing!

I never thought that being born on Feb. 29 was so unsual until
February 29, 1972. That year
(at the age of 7) I gave birth to my
daughter. She and I have shared this unusual birthday and
had a lot fo fun with it. We have been front page news and TV news more than
once. It's been
fun. This year we will celebrate together with our
entire family in Atlanta.

2lb14oz. Despite the
fact that she was a twin--her identical twin, Melissa, died two days
later of
cerebral hemorrhage--and six weeks early, she is now a
healthy young woman that has made her family
VERY proud. We have
such fun celebrating our birthdays EVERY year together! The best
part is the
off-years when we celebrate both 2/28 AND 3/1 :) Hugs to

my mom received her own water

but my mom wouldn't let them. We were put on the news written about
in the news paper and given a
limo ride home. Also all the expenses
were paid for in full by the hospital.

My younger brother is also a Leapie! What a birthday present - One
of my mom's favorite stories is
when we went to get my drivers'
permit. It was on 2/28 in a non-leap year. We stood in line for
hours.
When we registered for the test, it was realized that 2/29
was not in the computer and we had to
return on March 1 to get the
drivers' permit. When my younger brother was 15, Mom had learned her
lesson and did not go to the SC Department of Transportation until
after March 1! Happy Birthday, Brett!

I was born in Rockford, Illinois. The year 2000 I will be a 14 year
old, 56 year old. Growing up being
a Leap Year Baby was a different
experience, special attention, celebrating on the 28th, though as
all of you, not born yet & March 1st a day old. Had a couple
newspaper articles when I was still in
Illinois & last Leap Year
(1996) in our local little Fort Bragg, CA Advocate News. There were
3 others
in town. I shared my Leap Year birthdays with my
brother-in-law, Duane Barker (2/29/32) of Illinois
when I married
Larry in 1963. We have 2 children, Cindy & Jeff & they always got a
kick out of Mom's
birth date as does my Mom Lorrie. But here is the
real kick in the pants.....Our daughter was expecting
our 1st
grandchild February 28, 1996, her husband Curt's was born on the
28th, ( missed being a
Leap Year by a few hours). Anyway, as luck
would have it our precious Granddaughter, Alyssa was
born on my
birthday in 1996 & she will be celebrating her very 1st (4th)
birthday in the year 2000!
What a Joy! I will see to it that she too
has joined this wonderful Honor Society. Thank you both for
the
opportunity to share this skipped over date with so many other
leapers. You have done a marvelous
job. My little Granddaughter & I
will love sharing birthdays and watching your web site over the
years.
Thanks again!

I definitely feel very special having not only my birthday on Leap
Year, but my beautiful grand-daughter
was born on Leap Year as well,
and this year, 2004, she will be celebrating her 1st Leap Year
Birthday.
And now it may be possible that my niece's 1st child will
be born on Leap Year. I also have a nephew
who was born on March
1st, just after midnight.
I by chance looked this site up and had no idea that this site was
here and I am happy to see that there
is something for us Leap Year
Babies for as I was growing up and looking at the calender and
discovered
that the 29th was missing, it was very traumatic for me.
Now, I have the best time being able to tell people
my age, in Leap
Years. Happy Birthday to all my fellow Leap Year Babies !

We are a special bunch. I have never met anyone else with this
special birthday. My grandmother really
was born on leap year day as
well, but it was changed to March 1. She said that this option was
given to
parents in the early 1900's. My greatgrandmother wanted to
know why my mother didn't change mine and
didn't understand why my
mom thought it specail!

Greetings to all you Leapers out there! My first few leaps were
rather painful. I have an older brother,
four years older than me
born on 28 FEB! He would bring me to tears every year when his "day"
came
along because I didn't have one. Took me a while to realize
what he was missing out on. While he has
his "one day"... I have the
28th and the 1st of March to celebrate. But even then, I still have
to share
that day with an Aunt. Oh well!

I have three Leap-Babies in my family. My Great-Uncle and Great-Aunt
were both born in 1928. We have
always celebrated our day together.
My Aunt and Uncle are getting up in years, I am really starting to
how few of us there are. I am delighted to find a page that allows
me to "Celebrate" with others.

She is the only other person that
I know who is a Leap Day baby. It's definitely a spacial day for me.
In 1996, my daughter gave me a birthday cake that read 'Happy Sweet

again crazy enough to say, she was late with having her baby
and
February 29th, 2004 on my birthday I was waking up at 5am to help my
sister deliver my baby
niece born at 7:45 am... and I cant wait to
share my birthday with her

but NEVER on just
March 1st; I wasn't born in March. I LOVE being a leap year baby.
There are less of us
than anyone else and it makes me feel very
special. My folks have always made it special. In grade schoo
in

giving our lucky school two leap year

When I celebrated my first Leap Year birthday (when I was 4 years

newspaper at my birthday party.
The most amazing story about my leap year birthday is that my
mother's
double first cousin also had a leap year baby -- she's 8
years younger than me. The only other leap year
baby I ever met was
a lady many years older than me at a square dance.

Strangely enough my cousin was also born on Leap Day in 1984. I
wonder what the
